I'm going to give you all a "heads up" in case this situation should arise...
Yesterday there was a message left on my phone. A very "official" sounding person saying they were trying to reach my youngest son to notify him official legal notices requiring his signature would be delivered to his house or place of employment Thursday afternoon.
I got a hold of my oldest son to find out what was going on. Apparently there's a new (to us anyway) scam in town. Something along the lines of "you're being sued but if you pay us $1000 we'll make it go away before you have to go to court".
When this first happened, youngest son said "so sue me" and went to court. That's small claims court in Kansas. Of course those people never showed up and he was told there was no case and it was a scam to get money from innocent people.
How these fraudsters ever got my phone number is beyond me. Our last names are no longer the same and my phone number has changed about 3x in the past 9 years. But it sure raised this mom's worry level several notches.
They just called again this morning...2 calls, 1 minute apart. I've blocked the number now.
Anyway, just be aware in case something similar happens to you (or as in my case, to a family member).
